Identical to this Mod here, but now for the Vbulletin 3.8 line.
DOES NOT WORK FOR Vbulletin 4.x

This version probably no longer works for Wordpress 3.x. I have started developing this product over and have released the NEW version here:

http://www.lampwrights.com/showthread.php?t=41




This mod bridges your Vbulletin users over to Wordpress. You can also use Vbulletin as your comment engine instead of the spammy one built into Wordpress. You can display the comments inline in your post. You need not use the comment feature, if your only interested in sharing users.

You can map your Vbulletin Usergroups to Wordpress Usergroups and those users will then be recognized as registered Wordpress users.

For example, user "Joe" registers at your forum and logs in. Joe then clicks on your Wordpress page. Joe is instantly added to the Wordpress user base with the permissions you set for his usergroup. In otherwords, if a user comes over belonging to the "Registered User" group, you can select that he is placed in the Wordpress "Subscriber" usergroup.

If you change a users group from vbulletin, it will automatically change in Wordpress.

Requirements:
  • DOES NOT and WILL NEVER support Wordpress MU.
  • Wordpress and Vbulletin scripts must reside on the same physical server.
  • Wordpress and Vbulletin must use the same domain name.
  • Stable Wordpress Version greater than or equal to 2.7.
  • DOES work for Vbulletin 3.7.
  • Does work for vBulletin 3.8.
Limitations:
  • Does not work for 4.x. Why? Because VB 4.x does not work for me. If they ever make that product worth a shit, I might support it.
  • Please don't ask if it works for any BETA versions of Vbulletin. I do not know and will not convert this to the latest version of VB (whatever it is at the time you are reading this) until the version is released as non-beta.
  • Does not work with XMLRPC.
  • Chances are, this will not work when VB and Wordpress are located in different sub domains. I.E. forum.yoursite.com - blog.yoursite.com. Cookie issue.
  • I did the best I could in determining your forums file path with the script. There may be certain script setups that cannot find the file path properly, in which case you may get errors that the script cannot find or open /config.php. If this is the case, please HARDCODE your ABSOLUTE path to the forum in vbridge.php.

    To do this find:

    Code:
     ## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
    ## NO TRAILING SLASH!
    # $vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';
    And uncomment the last line, and change the path to your forums path:

    Code:
     ## If you are having path problems, uncomment this next variable and define the path
    ## NO TRAILING SLASH!
    $vwd = '/some/path/to/your/forum';
Common Mistakes When Installing:
  • Using two different host names causes problems. If your forum URL contains www.yourdomain.com, then your wordpress blog URL MUST contain the www. part of www.yourdomain.com also. This goes for any other host name. Browsers are finnecky when it comes to cookies (as they should be).
  • Editors generally EDIT, not write. In Wordpress, editors don't show up in the post author drop down. This has nothing to do with this plugin, that is Wordpress code.
  • Make sure you DO NOT create a subdirectory for this plugin in the wp-content/plugins directory. Just upload it directly there..
  • If you do not map users before you turn auto-integrate on, the plugin has no idea whether your allowed into the dashboard.
  • If you all of a sudden can't login to the dashboard, see the above two common mistakes.
  • FOLLOW the directions and make a test post first. Being in a rush and not testing will most likely turn out bad for you.
UPDATES:

Changelog is included in download, here is the most recent changes:

3/09/2009
  • Added code to process scheduled posts
  • Addressed code where links and images would not show up properly in VB
  • Added new table called vb_forumid for scheduled posts
  • Reduced redundant calls when dealing with forum excerpts

Is there any way to import already registered Wordpress users into vB?

I've got a newly installed wordPress v2.7.1 site and a newly purchased 3.8.1 vBulletin board I'm trying to integrate. Per the instructions I do the following:

1. Create a new VB User ID: 6
2. Create a new user for the VB Username: mypublicuser
3. Create a new forum and add it to VB Forum ID: 8
4. Add the Forum URL: http://mysite.com/vb
5. Add the Forum Relative Path: /vb
6. Add the Database Prefix: vb_
7. Answer Yes to Forum use UNICODE (UTF-8)
8. Select Yes to the "Post Articles To Forum" option
9. Clicked Submit and successfully create a new Post in the forum.
10. I then mapped my VBUsers accordingly:

Unregistered / Not Logged In Do Not Map
Users Awaiting Email Confirm Subscriber
Super Moderators Editor
Moderators Author
Registered Users Subscriber
(COPPA) Users Awaiting Mod. Subscriber
Administrators Administrator
Banned Users Do Not Map

11. Mapped users Saved!
12. Turn Auto-Integrate on. Saved!

Attempt to log in and am no longer unable to as none of my WordPress accounts work. So before proceeding to "delete or rename the vbbridge.php file and that will deactivate the plugin" I figured I'd check here to see if this is still necessary. What do I do afterwards? Do I start over or is there a fix? :erm:
I am able to log into vBulletin with my admin account but I'm unsure of how to access WordPress from here. Did I miss something in the instructions?

Any responses appreciated.

That's how it works for me too. Once I configure per the instructions, the current logged in vbuser is the one that comes up automatically logged into wordpress. I think that's how it was designed to work.

I may be wrong but I don't think the bridge works that way. My experience is that it goes from vb to wp and not the opposite way. I think that's a different integration that hasn't been done that I know.

Anybody have a guess why wordpress is stripping backslashes out of the document? Randomly, I just noticed that when I publish, the backslashes in the "path" examples I am using are all stripped out. I doubt that its the bridge but have no idea now?

Ok so where do I go from there? It's like going in through the back door but not being able to see through the house. How do I get access to WordPress? All I see is the board which isn't integrated into WordPress yet. From reading through the previous post the script doesn't integrate so as of right now a user doesn't see the pages or the rest of the site. Do I remove the Register option from the front page and have users register through vBulletin? If so how do they access the rest of the site? I wasn't able to log in with my existing WordPress accounts is that because they didn't exist in vBulletin? Is this "common knowledge? If so where's the documentation covering this so that I can read through it?

So as it stands right now I should:

Perform the integration again, or rename the vbbridge file back to what it is.
Once I do this check to make sure that the vBulletin account is logged in to the board.
???

Any responses appreciated.

A silly question, perhaps, but does WP have to be installed into the same database as vb - or can it use seperates?
